Trinity College Hartford: a lesser known "ivy" equivalent?

After having a rather long debate with a fellow classmate of mine regarding the status of Trinity College Hartford as a Target school for ibanking, I decided it was best to consult WSO. Is Trinity really a near equivalent of an ivy league as my classmate claims it to be, or is it just another preppy private school? At an acceptance rate of 30%, I find it hard to believe that it is a target school. Thanks.

  1. LOL at assuming that a 30% acceptance rate disqualifies a school from being a "target" (a quick Google search reveals that NYU, UMICH, and UVA would all be rejected under this qualification.)

  2. You can't use "target" and "Ivy" interchangeably.

  3. No, Trinity is not a target.
